Summary
"Having been near you all these years, I am not unaware of the goings on of court, or the way you nobles like to do things.” He gives a half smile at that but doesn’t convince himself of his own humor, “I also know… that when a new king comes to power, he inherits his predecessor’s information network. His spies.”
Arthur leans back, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes, “That’s true, Merlin. I’ve been expecting whomever my father’s last spymaster was to come to me for days now. Do you know who it is?”
Don’t fidget. Don’t shift your weight. Goddess take you, Merlin, stand still. He clears his throat, “It was Gaius for a long time.”
The young king relaxes an imperceptible amount, and nods, “He’d have access to everyone, from villager to noble, and friendly relationships with most. Who is it now?”
Merlin stares at him, then spreads his palms helplessly, “Me.”
Merlin is Camelot’s spymaster and must reveal himself as such to Arthur when he becomes king.

Summary
A small ball hovered in her hand, shining with a silver-blue light. It floated there, getting brighter and brighter before dimming again. Wisps of cloud swirled at its center. It was pure magic.
And the breath was stolen from Arthur’s lungs.
“I thought you’d recognize it. He said it was warm. He said it reminded him of home.”It has been one year since Merlin's death when Arthur meets Morgana on the battlefield.
Somehow, between all the guilt and shame, he discovers that his sister knew Merlin better than he ever did - and ever would.- Language:

Summary
After a sudden encounter with Morgana, Merlin is severely injured, only managing to survive by calling the Great Dragon. However, he must return to Camelot still affected and somehow hide this from Arthur. But what's another secret on top of so many others?
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, and the whole idea of how Merlin's blindness works is from TA Barron's Merlin series (which is amazing and everyone should read)

Summary
When Rience is done, he throws what is left of Jaskier into the harbor, not even having the courtesy to finish him off first. One final cruel insult: drowning the man you burned.
It seems unfair, Jaskier thinks, to spend thirty-nine years being a person, breathing and alive, only to end as tattered cloth and scorched meat, dumped like so much garbage.
No one will ever know what happened to him.

Summary
The girl is young, earnest and a little scared. “Do you kill monsters if they’re human?” she asks abruptly.
Geralt nods at her to sit down, looking around him to check if anyone’s listening. “Tell me what’s troubling you.”
“There’s a woman,” the girl whispers, leaning forward over the table. “Rich. Powerful. She collects people. And when she takes a fancy to someone, they’re never seen again.”
Jaskier gets taken apart. Geralt works to put him back together.
